Okay brothers, how do you solve the age old problem- every time I buy ammo, sets me back in savings for another gun. More ammo or more guns?

It's the dilemma that has plagued the ages.

Gun get it while u can

Welcome to the club. When i buy a new firearm, I don't feel satisfied till i have a few thousand rounds in that cal. :wild:

Both

Ammo.... Another gun is no good without ammo....

A gun that shoots ammo you already have!!

start reloading.  After the initial investment ammo becomes a lot cheaper!

Ammo is not cheap right not, but it is available. If you want to stock up, don't. If you need to replace a case, go ahead.

I'd go for the gun

ammo......

Depends on the situation.

 

If you're getting a new gun in a new caliber, I'd buy some ammo first, then the gun, then lots of more ammo.

 

If you're getting a gun that you already have a good amount of ammo for, or you have other guns in that caliber, then gun.

Went to the Oaks gun show the other day. Considering the price of ammo, Id say maybe the gun?

true fishpaw!

Get the gun. If your hurting for cash/ammo bad enough you can unload a gun for reasonable amount of your initial investment

or you could build a gun (cheaper that way) and sell it to used the profit to buy ammo.  then take your initial amount used and build another one and bamm, ammo and a gun

I'm not going to assume ammo will ever be cheaper.... Which is why I went to reloading... Cost and availability...

Buy the gun, buy a few boxes of ammo to have fun with it, when you can get more money together for ammo, buy quantity then.

I hear everybody with the reloading and I was seriously considering starting also..but is component availabilty (namely powder) still a crapshoot?

Ammo.

Projectiles and primers are plentiful.. Powder is still a little spotty.

My plans for 2014:

Buy myself an M&P 9mm Compact for an after Christmas present and snap caps. Buy 500-1000 rounds of ammo. Get a range membership. Start looking into reloading.

That sounds like a great plan............

Let me ask you something; Do you own a safe to put your expensive tools in? If you do not, that is where your money should be going. Buy once cry once.

Thanks!

I've got a small one from Dicks that'll keep anyone from messing with them. However I own one handgun right now. I plan on buying one of those large - not easy to steal - ones that fasten to the studs in the house.
